The Top Five WWE Moments of Rob Van Dam
So there I was enjoying another great Chicago crowd at another fun WWE pay-per-view and I was shocked by a return video. Really, RVD is coming back? The crowd loved it and I... Read more

John: Welcome to our WWE Payback preview. It's the first WWE PPV named Payback. I'm not sure why they went with Payback or why they couldn't bring back an old name like Backlash. I guess it doesn't really matter. Seeing as how Payback is not a...
There's something that feels perverse about looking back at Scott Hall's time in WCW now that it is cloaked in the context of a then-unknown future. It's interesting to look back on that time now and see the trajectories of each of the founders of...
A few weeks ago TNA chairperson or whatever Dixie Carter said that she would love to do a crossover promotion with WWE, citing that the people who would benefit the most would be the fans. This is of course ridiculous, since the majority of...
Two more Main Event review coming at you. 6/5 features Sheamus vs. Antonio Cesaro and 6/12 features Cody Rhodes vs. The Miz
Potential WWE Film Stars!
At E3, Sony and Microsoft have spent days in a mine is bigger contest. At WWDC, Apple announced some huge innovations to the iPhone... while copying many features of their competitors. And in the world of sports, my fellow SDSU alum Kawhi Leonard...
Writing about Curtis Axel on SmackDown last week made me think of his father Curt Hennigs Hall of Fame induction, and his wife stating, Nobody does it better. Nobody. Meanwhile, Ive been corresponding with a really nice person while I work on a...
WWE superstar Kane had some kind words for his Team Hell No tag team partner Daniel Bryan in an interview with AL.com promoting a house show in Mobile, Alabama. The Kane comments are in italics with my thoughts immediately following. "Daniel Bryan...
I bloody love stables me. I love it when a group comes together and dominates. I love the disparate personalities, the arrogance, the inevitable fall-out and break-up. Its often the best story-telling in the business. In a way, its one of the...
Lately Ive made no secret of my admiration for Daniel Bryan. Hes just tops, the bees knees. If theres any wrestler I have a man crush on, its him. I like his hobo beard, the scraggly hair, his radical intro music Im even a fan of his pectorals,...
Hey yo. Normally I'm just the Wednesday Headlines guy, but Lonestar is out of the TJRWrestling "office" due to a vacation, so I'm filling in. As I do every week, I wrote the Raw Deal column (or is it a review?) yesterday. I'm not going to...
It's hard not to see the irony involved in recent WWE storylines. Arguably one of their biggest of late has been the ongoing feud between Curtis Axel and the storyline COO of the promotion, Triple H. Depending on your point of view, this feud...
Live coverage of WWE Monday Night Raw with full match results and instant analysis!
Hello ladies and germs. Welcome to Monday headlines. I know you guys are used to having this posted earlier in the day, but I worked late last night. Also, Mike isnt here for our usual ramblings because he is in St. Louis having license plates...
Every month, I am faced with that eternal question: Should I buy this months WWE pay per view? I know what you are thinking, Lasher you are a rich public school teacher, cant you afford the expense every month? However, we are not rolling in the...
Hello guys and gals! Welcome to this weeks edition of WTF! This week we deal with the fallout from Slammiversary, which was highlighted by Sting kicking out of 1,243 piledrivers, despite it being the most feared move ever! Also, Quentin Rampage...
I am honoured to fill the clown shoes of Andrew Johnson for The Smacking of Smackdown this week (clown shoes because hes funny, see, and also because they are big shoes to fill). I enjoyed Smackdown more than usual. Maybe I am feeling generous of...
This column is a monthly feature that looks ahead to WWE's next pay-per-view offering. I did this for WrestleMania and Extreme Rules over a week before those events. I usually do them immediately after the SmackDown tapings, but didn't want to...
This past Sunday, there was a whole plethora of wrestling available for viewing. The most widely known of these was TNAs 11th annual Slammiversary event, featuring a main event of Bully Ray vs. Sting. I was working a night shift here in Belgrade,...
Hello there, wise and hardy followers of the best booked show on WWE TV, NXT. Lonestar has buggered off on his jollies for the next 2 weeks, so unfortunately you're all stuck with me covering NXT during that time. No worries though, we'll get...
Hello my friends. Usually Andrew Johnson is the Friday Headlines guy, but he's celebrating an anniversary with his wife and also traveling, so I'm filling in for him. He won't be writing Smacking of Smackdown this week either. We have a...
Christian Michael lists the five moments that made him a lifetime wrestling fan.
Last week, we reported on the rumor that TNAs Bound for Glory would be coming to Thursday Headlines hometown - San Diego, California. Well, the rumors turned out to be true, and The Hulkster and friends are indeed coming to our little city by the...
Bad guys come from dark places. Death Valley, Sin City, Parts Unknown. But what if the darkest place is INSIDE the bad guy? Bray Wyatt hails from Louisiana, conjuring images of murky swamplands and dense groves. Though the sun is shining in every...
Lately Ive been thinking about how WWE uses social networking. A lot of people are up-in-arms about WWE plugging Touts and Tweets, but I never watch RAW live anymore, so it doesnt feel like an issue to skip through all the padding. However, in...
Call him what you will. Kane. The Big Red Machine. A brother of destruction. Isaac. Unabom or just plain Glen. Either way, the masked monster has been going for years and, often through no fault of his own, is often ignored or overshadowed by...
Last week on Twitter, TNA President Dixie Carter tweeted about how TNA signed a big time "free agent" that will join their roster soon. On Tuesday we found out that former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was the man that...
One of the very fortunate things about writing about wrestling at this point in its history is that I'm being treated to a front-row seat overlooking what will define the next era in wrestling. Never before in my time of watching this sport have...
Full results and analysis of Raw with plenty of Daniel Bryan!
Chikara gets ballsy and wrestlers give advice.
Fozzie: You ok my friend? We should get this headlines thing going. John sent an email with an interview with Ambrose. Did you read it? Aires: Yeah I'm good. Just wore out. Working 70+ hours a week, having no days off, on top of all the storms...
Welcome to Raw is Jericho...
TNA Slammiversary XI Boston, Massachusetts June 2, 2013 There was a video package to set up the Bully Ray vs. Sting match for the TNA World Title. The announcers for the show are Todd Kenely, Mike Tenay and Taz. If you read my Raw Deal column I...
Hello geeks. Are you guys ready for prime time? Are ready to be dazzled by remarkable storytelling and superb in-ring action? Yes? Well too bad, this is Impact. Bwahahahaoh never mind. Narrator P. Gomez is on the scene to run down the events of...
A TNA related column? Yes it is.
Looking at potential programs the WWE could run this summer
CM Punk, as "The Best in The World", is the Tea Party better than Jack Swagger or Zeb Coulter could ever hope. Not in the big, cartoon villain sense; that is the broad, immediately identifiable evil, and Zeb is killing it right now as far as that...
The week on NXT: A Battle Royal and everybody gets fired.
Ready for a new WWE film? I know I am. Variety is reporting that WWE is co-producing a new Flintstones film with Warner Brothers Animation. This will be the second co-produced cartoon for the WWE. Last year, WWE announced a new Scooby Doo,...
I know Im not alone. The Shield has unified us as fans, and it feels fantastic to love wrestling because our instincts and not Vince McMahon - have told us to. Thomas Briggs and Matty J. Douglas have written excellent columns on The Shield...
Alberto Del Rio vs. Big E Langston and Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett headline the last two weeks of Main Event.
"Bring yourself to the part of taking hold of a role, as if it were your own life. Speak for your character in your own person. When you sense this real kinship to your part, your newly created being will become soul of your soul, flesh of your...
Any time I can work in a clip from a Wayne's World movie it's a good edition of Headlines...
So much news! CM Punk might return, new main event for Payback, new wrestlers and more!
Watching last night's Raw and the brilliant perfection therein that was the first Bray Wyatt vignette gave me hope that perhaps, even in this era of Hornswoggle, the WWE has decided to explore their darker side. It also brought about a...
For many the new year starts on January 1st. But for millions of teachers, the year begins in September. One of favorite things about working in high school is that annual tradition of high school football. But it does lead to a major problem. I...

Hello guys and gals! Its your boy Fozzie here to bring you your Monday Headlines. In case youre wondering, John will now be covering Wednesday Headlines while Mike and I will now start your week off with our silly bantering and juvenile insults....
Gold. Jesus Christ, gold. How freaking antiquated is gold? I mean, we dont use it much in science or anything utilitarian like that, and it doesnt even back American currency anymore. Yet its still a big freakin deal. Its still the sparkle in that...
